Dietary protein intake did not affect daily myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during immobilization.
Practitioners should note that increasing dietary protein may not mitigate muscle loss during short-term disuse.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
We report the novel finding that graded protein intakes had no effect on daily myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during immobilization.
Why this rating
The finding is clearly stated and supported by statistical analysis.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
